The Underscore Archives

Yup, it's time for Oliver's weekly [_] question (thanks for the tax advice,
btw - you made me realise hiring an accountant is a Good Thing)...

As part of our education work we're setting up an online forum (phpbb) for a
school to use, and I wondered if anyone has a favourite set of "banned
words" for this kind of situation. I get to about 5 before I start to umm
and err. 

I think phpbb only replaces whole words unless wildcards are supplied, so
e.g. banning "sex" doesn't ban "sussex" (not that it's worth banning
either...). And yes, I know people always find a way round these kinds of
filters, but we've got to at least show willing :)

Oliver.
